Revelation 19
ILLUSTRATION: We love Christmas - When our oldest daughter was about 5, Baby Jesus always came up missing. She would take him to her room and Barbi would be the virgin Mary, one of our son’s Mr. Potato Heads would be Joseph and she would recreate the Nativity.
ILLUSTRATION: When Ricky Bobby prayed, he preferred to pray to 8lb 6oz newborn baby Jesus in his golden fleece diaper.

And just in case you are in doubt, there’s that convenient logo on his robe with the heart and cross.
• Jesus Humanity to the Neglect of His Deity - Some people emphasize His humanity to the neglect of his Deity. This is the person who assumes Jesus is just like them. Sometimes - they even project their cultural norms and racial stereo types on Jesus. This is the Jesus with curly blonde hair, blue eyes… I’m sorry but I find that guy difficult to worship.
• Jesus Humility to the neglect of His Glory - This is when people over emphasize the qualities of Jesus that are in keeping with his nature as a Shepherd. Which makes you wonder, how was that guy able to drive the money changers out of the temple without the Roman Guards challenging him
Christmas is an excellent opportunity to get a
balanced view of who Jesus is.
